Ralph Nader "There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship"

Woody offers us this spirited exchange, you can hear the passion from the man at the center of a debate about true democracy.

After working as a lawyer in Hartford, Connecticut young Nader moved to Washington to begin his career as a consumer advocate. He was advisor to Senate subcommittee studying auto safety and took on the auto industry with the publication of his groundbreaking Unsafe At Any Speed in 1965. Much due to his influence, Congress passed the 1966 National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. He was also influential in the passage of 1967’s Wholesome Meat Act which called for federal inspections of beef and poultry that imposed standards on slaughterhouses , as well as the Clean Air and Freedom of Information Acts.
